in tarifa (andalusia).

“Silence is sometimes the best answer”.

The Silence Experience

In silence, your soul speaks… Create your own inner journey, in profound peace and silence (not vipassana, not a religious ashram, no gurus, no dogmas). Enjoy the space and time we have created between you and your soul to have deep conversations and insights.

This silence retreat is more than a yoga and meditation retreat. It is a special way to practice the ‘Art of Nothing’ and simply ‘Rest, Sleep, Eat and Repeat’ – In Silence, by the tranquility of nature. You are daily invited to join meditation & yoga asanas (basic Hatha postures), walk freely in the garden, take personal notes and participate in group talks that will inspire you for your life.

We spend too much time looking outside ourselves. The outside world it is only a reflection of our inner world. And just by turning our attention inwards, we gain the capacity to change what occurs in the outside world.

At the beginning, this inner turning is only possible through the practice and cultivation of meditation and silence. And moreover through mindfulness meditation: the equanimous and constant observation of the present moment, just exactly as it is.

In this Silent retreat we have created the perfect atmosphere for you to relax, to disconnect from the outside world and to re-connect with your inner world, that one where all answers are to be unfolded.

"Silence offers all the answers to the most important questions".

During this 5 days retreat, you will experience inner and outer silence, practice daily meditation, yang yoga (active) and yin yoga (deep meditative still practice); and daily Sat Sangs (questions and answers group circles where to go deeper into specific subjects that effect our lives).

You will have fixed times for yoga, silence and contemplation and plenty of free time to stay at the retreat area and enjoy or rest.

Location: Huerta Belinda

Nestled within the natural hillside of Th Gibraltar Straight, Huerta Belinda stands as a majestic mansion offering a tranquil escape. The villa is set in the middle of stunning grounds in a plot of 7,500m2, ensuring it's not overlooked by anyone and remains a secluded paradise in between two continents, with stunning views over Morocco and the Ocean.

Since August 2018, the villa underwent extensive refurbishment over the subsequent months with unwavering dedication, pouring attention into every detail to restore this impressive property to its former glory. Having been constructed in the early 1980s and later significantly extended, the house stands as one of the oldest in the area. Yet, its age does not deter from its grandeur; rather, it adds to its timeless charm.

The villa commands one of the most impressive views in Tarifa, if not the entirety of Andalusia. From its vantage point, it almost feels as if you could reach out and touch Africa. The villa's allure is accentuated by its expansive gardens, each offering an exceptional view on the Gibraltar strait and the Rif mountains of Africa. This outdoor paradise perfectly complements the luxurious indoor spaces, including its very own yoga studio fully equiped. Every corner of Huerta Belinda breathes a serene atmosphere in a luxurious setting, ensuring that your stay will be an unforgettable retreat experience.

Testimonials

“What I liked the most about this retreat is Everything.  I love Maite: she knew how to guide me very well, since I was a beginner.  She was able to accompany me at all times.  And in general, everything was very spoiled: the energy, the peace, the feeling of not having to talk and giving it all to myself.

 Considering that I personally don't love to meditate, it's been great.  Yoga was fantastic.  Very well guided by Maite.  The truth is that I can only speak wonders of this retreat”.

“Wow. Hard to choose what I liked the most...

 Not talking and not having a cell phone.  Yoga, meditation and food I liked the same.

 I feel a lot of peace and some strong emotions have been released.  It was nice to hear Maite return our attention with her sweet voice.  And yoga, phenomenal!”
